Restorative Liberal Party of Venezuela

The Restorative Liberal Party (PLR) was a liberal political party in Venezuela which existed from 1831 to 1936. The party was different from the Colombian Liberal Party in that it was opposed to the hegemony of "Yellow Liberalism" from 1870 to 1899, as the era was known for its widespread corruption. The Restoratives also supported more liberal positions than the Liberal Party, as they supported a more secular society and equal rights for all Venezuelans, and they opposed military spending. In 1899, the Restoratives under Cipriano Castro overthrew Ignacio Andrade's government in the "Liberal Restorative Revolution", ending the era of Yellow Liberalism.
